2 Chronicles 22:4

Wherefore. — And he did the evil. So 2 Kings 8:27.

For they were his counsellors. — Or, became.

To his destruction. — Literally, to destruction to him, the same peculiar expression being used which occurred in 2 Chronicles 20:23. This last half of the verse is evidently the chronicler’s own free expansion or interpretation of the words of Kings, “for he was son-in-law of the house of Ahab.”
